Emergency Breathing Air - K3S

The K3S Survival Supply System is for emergency situations where a supply of Breathing Air is needed. The unit is compact and can easily be stowed around the person or mounted on a wall or bulkhead.

The basic K3S Unit is flexible and can be fitted to a wide range of cylinder sizes. For emergency breathing applications it can be fitted to a .5 or 1 litre cylinder with a fill pressure of up to 300bar.

A Pressure Regulator, using a KIM-04 Supply Pressure Module, is mounted at the neck of the cylinder, together with a Co-axial Stop Valve. Integral with the Pressure Regulator is a Filler Connection, a Tactile Contents Indicator and a Burst Disc.

A Reactive Breathing Valve provides air to the user, in proportion to demand.

The KIM-type Pressure Regulator provides a level and stable pressure supply, which ensures up to 30% greater breathing capacity than can normally be expected from a cylinder of equivalent size. The use of a Luxfer lightweight wrapped cylinder, provides a compact, strong and easily handled unit.
